On the path to fully autonomous vehicles, cars are already becoming increasingly self-driving. Understanding how ADAS fitted vehicles perform in traffic is critical and therefore, it makes sense to shift the focus from the driver to the car itself.

How to secure this knowledge?  

• Partnering with car manufacturers worldwide, we know what safety systems are fitted into vehicles and how effective they are in protecting both vehicle and its passengers as well as other road users.
• Built on robust statistical methodologies, Swiss Re ADAS risk score gives a clear indication of how the safety performance of a vehicle is affected by its ADAS equipment.
• This score allows insurers to accurately reflect technological improvements in their tariffs and underwriting activities.
• Simultaneously, it allows car manufacturers to receive valuable feedback on their safety systems which can be used to improve performance.
• Thanks to a backward- and forward-looking evaluation of the risk and by partnering directly with car manufacturers, Swiss Re is capable of scoring vehicles even before their market release, hence avoiding any time latency in updating the risk evaluation of new systems.

Technologies such as ADAS can dramatically reduce road casualties and develop a safer mobility future. By encouraging customers to purchase ADAS enabled vehicles, accidents will be reduced, building a more resilient world.
